Just because a vehicle has foglights doesn't mean it can be defected if they are mis-used {i think thats what you said, sorry if I misunderstood what you meant}

In NSW they must be able to be activated independent of any light (other than parkers) If they come on and off with high-beam than they are technically a driving light and thus are under different ADR's.

More info for NSW:
under
Road transport (safety and traffic management) road rules regulation 1999 - Clause 55a
A person must not cause or commit (a) any fog light, affixed to a motor vehicle on a road to be lighted except in fog, mist or under other Atmospheric conditions that restrict visibility.

The fine is $77 in NSW (it used to be 75 but went up a couple of months ago)

Personally I hate foglights that are used when they are not needed.
Any truck driver here will know what unfocused 55 watt lights do to a driver in an elevated postition.

That's my rant for today.

cheers
